Excuse me, I forgot other questions!!! Would be you able to correspond with a killer in series, a rapist or paedophile? Personally my answer is not.

No, I only write to drug offenders because i feel it is unjust that they have to serve so much time for a nonviolent crime.

I would be able to correspond with one, but I chose not to. When I started looking for penpals I decided to write to someone who'd made a specific (not general) victim. That was based on my thought that with a serial killer or rapist I could have been their victim...

So far the only ones I really won't correspond with are those convicted of hate crimes. (I've found 2 so far.) (Well, one for sure and one that further research led me to believe was a hate crime.)

I also shy away from Muslims/Islamics. Not because of world events or anything against their religion, but because I'm Pagan, and not one of the "people of the book" so I can see potential problems there.

I have written to 2 DR inmates. The second one was the nicest guy you could ever know. Often times the person that you write to who is on DR is no longer the same person that commited the crime. Beside which I do not believe in the DP and everyone needs someone to talk to, someone to be there for them.
I could not however write to someone who has done harm to a child.

I would not write to a serial killer or rapist. I do not judge them I just would not want to write to them. However if Jeffrey Dahmer were alive and on WAP I would consider writing him. He was always remorseful and never tried to explain away his killings. He knew what he did was wrong and he admitted it. I was sad when he was murdered in prison.

I write to a bank robber, murderer and rapist, so I guess there's no one I wouldn't write to. I keep in mind who we are can't be summed up by a single action. If that were the case I would have given up long ago.
